Beit known that I, R. K. STAN- FORD, a citizen of. the United .States residing at Sheffield, in the county of' Colbert and State of Alabama, have invented a new and useful Cook-StoveQof which the follow-l ing is a specification. v

his invention'has relation to-cookfstoves and dampers therefor; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of itsv parts'as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to. rovide a cookstove with a damper which is theupper corners 'ofthe oven and which may be operated to open or closethe passage leading around under the oven or leadlng over the oven. A

In the accompanying drawings', Figure 1 is a verticalsectlonal vview of a cook-stove fitted with the damper. Y Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a stove, showing the damper 'in y 1its back plate A The stove 1 is provided with the usual {ire-A .box 2 -and oven The heatzpa'ssage 4' ocated at the upper corner of the oven 3.

' vious that the The leaves of the said plate 6 are foraminous, and the perforations of one leaf are staggered with relation to the perforations of the other leaf.` The vertically-disposed leaf of the. plate 6 is provided with the guide 7. The

damper 8 consists of two leaves, which also extend at ri ht angles "to'each other. u per edge o the vertically-disposed leaf'of t e damper 8 passes under the guide?, and the outer edge of the-horizonta lyA-disp'osed leaf of the damper8bears against the sideof the passage 4.v The damper 8 is rovided with a push-rod9, -by means of w ich the said damper is moved longitudinally. The leaves of the damper 8 are foraminous, and 'the perforations in 'one leaf are .alined lat.- erallywith From the fore oing description it is obamper may be moved'so that the perforations in its horizontal leaf will register with the perforations in the horizontal leaf'of` thezbacking-plate 6, and f when such is the case communication-is es- .ed,but communication will be One of the said leaves is located endof the passage 4, and the vertical The v the perforations of the other leaf..

I tablished'betweenv the'rebox 2 and through' the passage 4, whereby the heat is carried around the oven 3. Y At the same time jthe solid portions of the vertically-disposed leaf 'of the damper 8 passes over and closes the perforatons of the vertically-disposed leaf of the backing-plate 6. In a like manner when the perforations p of the vertically-disposed leaf of the damper 8 are lbrought into re 'ster with the perforations of the vertical l disposed leaf 'of the backing-plate 6 the perforations in the horizontal leaf of the backl l ing-plate 6 will be'closed by-'the'solid por-l tions or the horizontal leaf of the dam erv 8.

Thus communication between 'the fire'- ox 2- and through the passage 4 will be interrupt?. established from the firebox` throu h the passage 5 to the flue V10 over the top o the oven '3.

The push-rod 9 is. rovided in its under edge .with a series" o teethil, which are adapted .to engage the edge of the perfor-ation 12, provided in the side of the stove and. through .which the said rod passes.

Having described my,invention, what I claim as new, `and desire to secure by Letters A vstove comprlsing a lire-box and an-oven with a passage between'thefire-boxand the oven anda passage between the top of the `stove and the oven, 'a backing-plate locatedv at the ulpper corner of the oven and having a -dis os'ed. leaf .which extends from the oven to t 'e top of the .stove and a horizontally-disposed eaf which extends from the oven to the side of the's'tove said leaves being perforated in staggered "relation to each other, the saidA vertically-disposed leaf having on its side a guide, a damper composed of leaves at right angles to'each other and having perforations located transversely opposite each other 4one of the' leaves of the damper havinglits upper edge fitting under the, guide of t e vertically-disposed leaf of the backing-plate and the outer ed e' of its other leaf fitting against a wall of t e stove ICG and a means for shifting said damper longitudinally. v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence vof two witnesses.
